Indicators No Longer In QOF (INLIQ)

Purpose and outline

As part of the contractual agreement for 2023/24, it was agreed to continue collecting information relating to indicators no longer in QOF.

The INLIQ service contains indicators retired from payment through the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), the funding for these indicators was transferred into Global Sum (general practice baselines). 

Not all the indicators that are removed from QOF will move to INLIQ, only those where it is felt that continued data would be useful are collected through the service. 

For future years, further retirements would be considered for ongoing collections and the indicators in this collection would also be reviewed to check to appropriateness of continuing to collect the data.
